Strength-flexibility: For Mass, Prowess and Fewer Injuries
This exercise has gone by the way of the dinosaurs, thanks to its unparalleled brutality and apparent impossibility. I dare you to perform it even with an empty forty-five pound bar! Russian Victor Sots, the world champion weightlifter of the early eighties, would clean up to four hundred pounds and descend into a rock bottom front squat. What, big guy, not a big deal for your beefy thighs and bulging traps? How about part two? Lights, camera, action! Once in the ass-to-the-floor front squat, the husky Russky would press the heavy metal overhead! Awed silence, please.
